Check if the PC is either NT or Win95
HI Samba users,
Is there any way, that I from the unix command line, can start either
smbclient or another program to check what kind the PC is, i.e. in a
script I would like to know if the client is a NT or W95. I was told
smbclient could do it, but I cannot get it to work.

Hi Herb, I found out that if you set debug level to 0, there lines are omitted: Added interface ip=150.166.97.31 bcast=150.166.97.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Server time is Thu Jun 25 08:15:55 1998 Timezone is UTC-7.0 Password: Domain=[ENGR] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0] security=user Thanks for you help.

Do you have the correct codepage installed on the samba machine? Earlier versions of samba had a very limited set of code pages that it recognized. Also check the character set parameter. Here is the code that generates the second message. void interpret_character_set(char *str) { if (strequal (str, "iso8859-1")) { init_iso8859_1(); } else if (strequal (str, "iso8859-2")) { init_iso8859_2(); } else if (strequal (str, "iso8859-5")) { init_iso8859_5(); } else if (strequal (str, "koi8-r")) { init_koi8_r(); } else { DEBUG(0,("unrecognized character set\n")); } } Here is the section from the smb.conf.5 man page character set (G) This allows a smbd to map incoming characters from a DOS 850 Code page to either a Western European (ISO8859-1) or Eastern European (ISO8859-2) code page. Normally not set, meaning no filename translation is done. Default character set Example character set = iso8859-1 Here is what the output should look like on an NT machine herb@chomps:/ > smbclient -L tigra -W engr -U herb Added interface ip=150.166.97.31 bcast=150.166.97.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Server time is Thu Jun 25 08:15:55 1998 Timezone is UTC-7.0 Password: Domain=[ENGR] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0] security=user Server=[TIGRA] User=[] Workgroup=[ENGR] Domain=[] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin C$ Disk Default share D$ Disk Default share E Disk ZIPDRIVE IPC$ IPC Remote IPC Personal Disk Here is the output from a Win98 machine herb@chomps:/ > smbclient -L herbnt2 -W herbnt -U herb Added interface ip=150.166.97.31 bcast=150.166.97.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Server time is Thu Jun 25 09:07:04 1998 Timezone is UTC-7.0 security=share Server=[HERBNT2] User=[] Workgroup=[HERB-NT] Domain=[HERB-NT] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- C Disk CDROM Disk D Disk IPC$ IPC Remote Inter Process Communication By the way, the -P option is used to connect as a printer so you do not need it. If you have the source installed on your machine and also have perl 5 you may want to take a look at a script I have in packaging/SGI directory called findsmb. This will list all machines that respond on a subnet (see the comments at the beginning for how to run). -- ====================================================================== Herb Lewis Silicon Graphics Technical Marketing 2011 N Shoreline Blvd Network Systems Division Mountain View, CA 94043 herb@sgi.com Tel: 650-933-2177 http://www.sgi.com Fax: 650-932-2177 ======================================================================
